I'm not worried about the Orcas, I'm worried about the Octopi cartel getting those two F/A-18 Hornets and flooding the graphics market with foreign black ink against our will.

I find it hilarious that MAGA are quick to try to find “sources” to dispute facts. But when their Orange Daddy spews complete nonsense and lies, like “trans cats” and “condom bombs” they swallow that shit up like a Big Gulp.

I realize that Republicans don't need any Dem votes to confirm Trump's evil wackos, but I'm still happy to see that Senate Dems have stopped playing along, and are voting NO.

FWIW, I've been typing since 7th grade in 1968 because my handwriting was so atrocious, and my Olivetti portable traveled the world with me on trains, planes and hitchhiking forays on autos, trucks and motorcycles.

Three justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court who tried to steal this election for Griffin are up for election in 2028: Paul Newby, Phil Berger Jr., and Tamara P. Barringer. When Election Day comes around, I hope the state's voters remember what these lawless partisans tried to do here.

One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects. It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this. The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

This is disturbing because that 20% they're shedding: it will not be supporters of the felon. This is an authoritarian move to remove dissenters of fascism from the military & facilitate the felon staying in office after his term ends. Be worried. www.huffpost.com/entry/ap-us-...
